“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he is planning to petition the Supreme Court to convene a grand jury to investigate “wrongdoings” regarding the COVID shots”
Wow. Talk about a dumb political stunt.
And this coming from the man who insisted that his voters in The Villages got their shots before even the health care workers back when they first were made available.
Steven Colbert had a good time tonight playing all the clips of DeSantis talking about how great the vaccines were over the past year. And now DeSantis tries to trash public health to score a few more anti-vaxxer votes.
The Republicans are at an all-time low, and yet, they keep digging.

Florida Sen. Rick Scott said the Internal Revenue Service’s 87,000 new agents are going to be monitoring personal retail transactions………………… I think it is time to buy a Safe and when I sell something, it will be strictly CASH ONLY and that Money will go into the Safe instead of the Bank.
“this will take some time” but that eventually the legislation “will go a long way in mitigating the rate increases.”
